"I think the incident that most highlights the spirit of the site for me is when my Alfa 75 broke down in the Spawell car park and everybody did their best to help, from making sure I got home, to watching over it."

"Definition of an octaner: Sound bloke with a nutty edge. Often found living with a partner prone to shouting 'Get off that feckin site'."

"I suppose that since joining my car dreams have actually come true! I'm a lambo nut and I've lusted over the Diablo since I was a kid with my all time fav car being a Diablo 6.0 and it had to be orange and I honesly still cant believe that I got to spend a few hours riding shotgun in one. I didn't know what to expect because people say 'never meet your hero' and I really didn't want to be let down but fom the moment I sat in... I just wanted it even more! I've also met so many people that I would never have met before and so far, they've all been sound."

"Hooning around the hills overlooking the Celtic Sea at the front of convoy with a Lamborghini, Caterham and a Lotus amongst others leading the way..... November is always such a quiet month on Octane."

"This site is a microcosm of irish society with one thing in common - a love for motoring."

"Our little drinking club has a driving problem."
Up-The-Dubs
"Its full of petrolheads (and dieselheads I suppose) who will help you justify why you should buy a car you don't need, with money you don't have, so you can drive to places you don't need to go.."

"As somebody who likes cars of all sorts and loves driving, but none of my friends do, so I went scouring the internet one night and joined. Best move ever. Met lots of lovely people, gone for great spins, great sessions and driven some wonderfull machinery. "I sat in a Diablo??". Never did i imagine I'd do that. Had drinks laughs danced with people I barely know in a pub in Waterford. Got chased by them at 1am in Kerry. There now my car buddies!! All in all its a great site."
Fugs
"I've made friends that I know nothing about, then shared hotel rooms with them."

"Great people, great cars, great site! Simple as that!"

"We live in a world where the car is considered as Satan in metal form.
When they are not polluting every single atom of our atmosphere, they are driving over helpless blind orphan schoolchildren. Young men with enormous wings on their cars (yet little beneath their bonnet's) have made fast cars as socially acceptable as herpes. Cars (if we listen to our slap happy media) are slaughtering more folks than WW 1, 2 and Vietnam combined... every month.
Those of us who LIKE them walk a fine line in public company.
So thanks be that online we have a place where we can talk openly about enjoying cars and driving, in a multitude of forms"

"You are a self centred a55hole. You can pi55 off and drive around mountains with your stupid friends all you want from now on. I've had enough. You never want to see me. Your always either working on your car, working in general, or off at the beach. This time next year I'll have a new life, and a new boyfriend and you'll be f*cking sorry then. Then you'll realise the great chance you gave up."
